If you haven’t read Dr. Violet Socks over at Reclusive Leftist, you totally should.
If you’re not reading Reclusive Leftist now, it’s probably because she’s been torn from the intertubes by a satellite disaster.
She’s got a fabulous brain, dead or alive, and we really need to do what we can to get that brain back online.
So head on over, show her some love.
Looks like Hillary took Puerto Rico by about 70% to BO’s 30.We’re still waiting for final counts, but she kicked ass.
And in honor of her outstanding win, here’s Red State Updates’ Rat Boat!
Senator McCain shows how to be gracious and respectful to the opposition. And probably picks up more than a few disgruntled Hillary voters in the process.
Go Vote! This is your only chance to have a voice in the presidential elections. Use it.
So I am trying very hard not to be freaked out and paranoid.
But someone ripped the downspout off the front of my house.
Like they were trying to climb it.
I don’t know when. I do know it was in the last 2 days. My neighbor pointed it out to me when we were talking earlier.
And now every single noise is freaking me out.
And actually talks to black people.
Tonight’s conversation with my African American Neighbor:
Me: Hey Kare can I ask you something?
Karen: Sure Lizbeth
Me: What do you think about Hillary/Obama?
Karen: Well, we’re split. I like them both. But my problem with Obama is that he ain’t never lived in no ghetto. He don’t get how hard it is for people like me.
Me: True enough. But hey Karen, I keep hearing from white guys that if we don’t give Obama the nomination, black people are are gonna rise up and riot violently.
Karen: You know us. You live here. It ain’t gonna happen.
Me; That’s what I thought.
At least they hate you if you’re from one of those baddddd states like Florida and Michigan.
Outcome from the RBC:
Florida gets half votes. Florida Dems didn’t set their own primary date (Republicans did) but in the Democratic party’s quest to prove it is just as elitist as the Republican party, Florida got spanked.
Michigan also gets half votes. But………
Since Obama took himself off the ballot, he gets not only the 55 uncommitted delegates but he also gets 4 of Hillary’s delegates. Hillary has reserved her right to challenge the MI decision with the credentialing committee.
Who knew you could win presidential nominations by not putting yourself on the ballot?
Obama apparently. He’s gotten rid of his competition in similar ways before.
is like asking a black person to vote for George Wallace.
Obama has made it clear with his every action that he disrespects women in every possible way. From the way he talks about us, to the way he uses misogyny to his advantage in the campaign. Now he’s floating Jim Web as a possible VP candidate. Webb is a former Republican and well known woman hater. But he *might* shore up some of the white working class vote Obama can’t win.
It would be one thing if Obama went the normal politician route and just ignored women. Plenty of politicians have. But he flat out HATES us. Yes, hates. Can’t be bothered to learn our names or use respectful terms (sweetie), can’t quite grasp that we should have full control of our own bodies. Doesn’t want our votes (yet- wait till he remembers that 60% of the base have vaginas). And when he does remember, you can bet he’s gonna use extortion and threats of supreme court nominees to drag women by their ovaries into the voting booth. Vote for Obama or your Democratic party will make sure you regret it.
So when I hear things like “let’s remember the goal is a Democratic White House”, I have to pause.
No, the goal for me is a world where I am considered a full human being. And voting for Obama is a step backwards from that goal. It is voting against my own best interest.
Since I cannot write Hillary in, and I cannot vote for McCain, I will vote for Cynthia McKinney.
That is not a threat. This is me, a rational and reasonable person who has voted straight Dem in every election since I came of age, voting in my own self interest as everyone should.
Bill Withers- cause no one is cooler.
Use Me
